I think this article is speaking more to the industry at large. The idea that, in this climate, there will never be another Beatles, or Zeppelin, or even U2...the big, arena filling band. All the current ones are aging themselves out.

There will always be niche bands and listeners who maintain the traditions of the forefathers, much the same way bluegrass and jazz musicians and listeners do...making it more about the music than the commerce.

But I tend to agree with much of that article. Once U2, or Iron Maiden, or Skynyrd, or KISS are gone...there won't be another.
